What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMitch Daniels is rebuking JD Vance over what he calls a retreat from free markets, saying the party's evolution under Trump could open a lane for a group that champions economic freedom.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA party leaving a lane open. That never ends well. Somebody always drives into it, usually in a hatchback.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSenator Bernie Moreno, a Republican from Ohio, introduced a bill today that would put a one hundred percent federal tax on any state or local tax break given to data centers.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThe bill's name is the Recapturing Excessive Corporate Largesse through Accountability and Incentive Measures. Someone worked backward from an acronym, and I respect the suffering.
